Teravainen, the 22-year-old Carolina forward acquired from Chicago last summer, has reportedly been the topic of trade conversations, per TVA.

Once a ballyhooed prospect, Teravainen — the 18th overall pick in 2012 — has had some of the luster knocked off recently. He struggled to find his fit/niche in Chicago and, while he did help the club capture the Stanley Cup in ’15, was ultimately deemed expendable as GM Stan Bowman made moves to get the team salary cap compliant.

This year, Teravainen has been solid, if unspectacular, in his first campaign with the ‘Canes. He has 11 goals and 29 points through 58 games — on pace to set a career high in scoring — but has struggled with similar issues to the ones he faced in Chicago.

Specifically, where he fits and where he plays.

The club has bounced him from right wing to center and back, and now it sounds like head coach Bill Peters wants Teravainen to play the middle.

“I want him to skate more, hang on to pucks and make plays,” Peters said, per the Raleigh News & Observer. “He’s very comfortable as a winger or a center. I think he moves his feet and is a little bit more involved offensively in the middle.”

It’s worth pointing out Teravainen’s been in Peters’ doghouse this season. He sat as a healthy scratch earlier this year, getting parked for a game in late January.

Teravainen is currently in the last of his three-year, entry-level deal.

Per TVA, L.A. is trying to trade veteran winger Marian Gaborik with the goal of upgrading the active roster. The news comes with the 35-year-old only recently snapping a nine-game scoring slump, and fresh off a healthy scratch in Saturday’s 4-1 win over Anaheim.

Moving Gaborik won’t be easy.

He’s in the third of a seven-year, $34.125 million deal with a $4.875M average annual cap hit. It doesn’t expire until 2021 — when Gaborik will be 39 years old — and is one of the biggest albatrosses Lombardi currently has on the books (the other would be Dustin Brown‘s eight-year, $47 million deal, which runs through 2022).

Gaborik missed a bit of time this year to a broken foot, limiting him to 40 games. He has seven goals and 15 points, while averaging just a shade over 15 minutes per night.

There have to be major concerns about his decreased production over the last two years — since scoring 27 goals in his first full season in L.A., the veteran Slovak netted 12 last year and is only on pace for 10 this year.

If there’s a silver lining, it’s that Gaborik doesn’t have a no-trade or no-movement clause to hinder any deal.

“Jannik is a versatile, gritty player who plays with speed and is talented on both sides of the puck,” Sharks general manager Doug Wilson said in a statement. “We think he is a perfect fit for the style of our team, which has earned the right for us to make this move and add to our NHL roster as we push towards the playoffs.”

Hansen, 30, has been a coveted asset heading into tomorrow’s trade deadline. A versatile speedster that can score — 22 goals last year, 16 the year prior — he has one year remaining on a deal with a relatively modest $2.5 million cap hit.

The Danish winger should be a really nice addition for the Sharks. He can play up and down the lineup, and will make the team even faster — something that’s of vital importance. San Jose head coach Peter DeBoer has mentioned on several occasions that he thought the team was fast last year… until it faced (and lost to) Pittsburgh in the Stanley Cup Final.

Hansen’s campaign has been derailed by injury, limiting him to just 28 games, but he’s since returned to health and was playing regularly prior to tonight.

Because this is the trade deadline, the price to acquire Hansen was steep. Goldobin has been a terrific scorer with the AHL Barracuda this year, with 15 goals and 41 points in 46 games.

“Nikolay is a gifted offensive player with good hands and good release on his shot,” Benning said. “His play away from the puck has improved this year in the American League and we believe with his skillset and continued development, he has the ability to become a valuable member of our team.”

As for the conditions on that fourth-round pick?

With Postma in the box, Erik Haula scored his 13th goal of the year to give the Wild a 3-1 lead heading into the first intermission. No word yet if Suter would continue — on that note, it’s worth pointing out Minnesota came into this game undermanned, as both Zach Parise and Jason Pominville are sidelined with the mumps.

Netminding duties in Buffalo have been handled exclusively by Robin Lehner and Anders Nilsson this year but, tonight, a third goalie will get in the mix.

Linus Ullmark, the 23-year-old Rochester farmhand, will make his first start of the season when the Sabres host the Preds. Ullmark spent considerable time at the NHL level last season — starting 20 games — but was sent to the American League this year for further seasoning.

He’s played quite a bit, going 20-20-2 with a 2.90 GAA and .910 save percentage, and the timing of this start has raised some eyebrows. The Sabres are believed to be in seller mode heading into tomorrow’s deadline, and there’s been a lot of talk around Nilsson, who’s a pending UFA.

— Cam Ward gets the nod in Florida, looking to snap a personal four-game losing streak. He’ll be up against Roberto Luongo, who has also struggled lately. He’s allowed 18 goals on his last 139 shots faced, for a poor .871 save percentage.

— No surprises for Edmonton, as the Oilers will once again start Cam Talbot for the NHL-leading 57th time. Talbot will face Jake Allen.

— Matt Murray gets the nod for Pittsburgh, fresh off a 36-save win over the Flyers in Saturday’s Stadium Series game. It looks as though the host Stars will go with Antti Niemi.

— The Kings didn’t have a morning skate, but it’s possible Ben Bishop makes his team debut when L.A. takes on the Flames in Calgary. Jonathan Quick played last night against Minnesota and looked rusty in a loss. For the Flames, Brian Elliott gets the start.

— Petr Mrazek looks likely to start for Detroit tonight in Vancouver, while the Canucks are expected to go with Ryan Miller. Jacob Markstrom is out with an injury suffered during Sunday’s Super Skills contest.
